MOBILE, Alabama -- Two people needed the help of Mobile
firefighters today after they were trapped in their vehicles, which had
collided near the George Wallace Tunnel today, officials said.

Firefighters were able to get the two victims out of their
vehicles shortly after arriving, according to Steve Huffman, public information
officer for the Mobile Fire-Rescue Department. Officials did not need to use
the Jaws of Life to free them.

The pair refused medical treatment after the accident and
both said they were uninjured, Huffman said.

Around 2:30 p.m., officials were called to the westbound
lanes of Interstate 10 between the George Wallace Tunnel and Virginia Street.
About half an hour later, MFRD reported the people involved in the accident
were free.
